    <div style="margin-left:  0px;"> The <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_<i>z</i></b> macro
      represents a reentry into the <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> repetition
      construct. </div>
    <h4>Usage</h4>
    <div class="code"> <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_</b> ## <i>z</i>(<i>count</i>, <i>macro</i>,
      <i>data</i>) </div>
    <h4>Arguments</h4>
    <dl>
      <dt>z</dt>
      <dd> The next available <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> dimension. </dd>
      <dt>count</dt>
      <dd> The number of repetitious calls to <i>macro</i>.&nbsp; Valid values
        range from <i>0</i> to <b>BOOST_PP_LIMIT_REPEAT</b>. </dd>
      <dt>macro</dt>
      <dd> A ternary operation of the form <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>n</i>, <i>data</i>).&nbsp;
        This macro is expanded by <b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT</b> with the next
        available repetition depth, the current repetition number, and the
        auxiliary <i>data</i> argument.&nbsp; </dd>
      <dt>data</dt>
      <dd> Auxiliary data passed to <i>macro</i>. </dd>
    </dl>
    <h4>Remarks</h4>
    <div> This macro expands to the sequence:
      <div> <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>0</i>, <i>data</i>) <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>,
        <i>1</i>, <i>data</i>) ... <i>macro</i>(<i>z</i>, <i>count</i> - <i>1</i>,
        <i>data</i>) </div>
    </div>
    <div> At certain times, it may be necessary to perform the concatenation
      with <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> rather than the preprocessor token-pasting
      operator.&nbsp; This happens when the <i>z</i> value is a macro
      invocation itself.&nbsp; It needs a delay to allow it to expand.&nbsp; The
      syntax in such a scenario becomes:
      <div> <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<b>BOOST_PP_REPEAT_</b>, <i>z</i>)(<i>count</i>,
        <i>macro</i>, <i>data</i>) </div>
    </div>
